Commonly used by chemists as ligands for catalysts, cyclic imino ethers can also be polymerized to make materials that could help transport drugs into cells. Bart Verbraeken had been trying, ...
Deprotonation of alkyl and vinyl carbon-hydrogen bonds for synthetic purposes is often hindered not merely by the need for an exceptionally strong base, but by the inherent instability of the ...
Ether is a product in which the hydrogen in the hydroxyl group of an alcohol or phenol is replaced by a hydrocarbon group. The general formula is R-O-R', and R and R' can represent the same or ...
Cyclopolymerization is a chain polymerization of bifunctional monomers via alternating processes of intramolecular cyclization and intermolecular addition, to give soluble linear polymers consisting ...
New research headed by Prof. Ji Qian and Prof. Renjie Chen (Department of Energy and Environmental Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Beijing Institute of Technology) demonstrates ...
This image shows the epoxide-opening cyclic ether formation catalyzed by Lsd19. The disfavored 6-endo-tet reaction is highlighted in red. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the ...
